Hi Raikim,

Welcome to the forums. It most definitely is possible to make a lot of money out here. I was able to quit my full time job back in 2006 and I do this full-time.

As jaressloo said, the first step is creating a site yourself. I usually suggest you pick something that interests you, something you wouldn't mind writing about often. One of the keys to a successful site is one that offers useful, unique information targeting to a specific group.

Say you love golf. You could build a site on how to improve your golf game where you offer tips to other golfers on golf swing, club types, and all different topics. You read up on search engine optimization and learn how to get your site ranked high in the major engines. Promote your site in free sites like digg.com, stumbleupon.com, commenting on other golfer's blogs, etc.

After a while, your site will begin getting traffic. As jaressloo said, you can join Google AdSense and other affiliate programs to monetize that traffic.

It takes time but definitely doable if you are committed to it.
